| description | Many labor economists views change in the proportion of the labor force working part-time as evidence of a fundamental restructuring of the employer-employee relationship. The current literature on contingent workers argues that part-time workers have replaced and will continue to replace full-time workers as firms seek a more flexible and less costly labor force in response to growing international competition. With measured part-time employment on the decline, the applicability of the contingent-labor thesis is questioned, and the rise of involuntary part-time employment (IPT) as an important, but understudied, problem is discussed. Several factors that appear to drive the IPT rate are examined. The rise in IPT in the 1980s is linked to higher unemployment rates, the growth of the service sector, a decline in school enrollments, and reduced unemployment insurance coverage. |
